If you've heard "Sword of the Spirit" online, this is probably what you heard. But it is NOT THE ACTUAL EP. It's music from a secular band, mislabeled as being by Arch of Thorns. THIS IS NOT A BAND-APPROVED RELEASE.
Also note the differences in track lengths.
1) Visions of the End (Intro) 1:25
2) ...And the War Begins 4:23
3) Awakening the Fire Within 5:33
4) His Eminent Return 5:01

INFO:
1) Lyrics. 2) Why are there two versions of the "When the Moon..." artwork? 3) The lineup. MA lists Teckmarion as doing keyboards, but their Myspace (+Sword of the Spirit info) list Issachar. Did they switch roles at some point, or? 4) Once again, a few releases that were released in the same year, but I don't know what order they were released in. Can anyone clear this up? 5) Was "Among Archaic Ruins" released...? 6) Was "Through the Ancient Gates" released..?

Images that could use better res/quality: 1) The Coming Storm 2) Sword of the Spirit 3) The first artwork of "When the Moon..." 4) The 2010 compilation. 5) Better version of the logo that's just black/white, not stylized.
Miscellaneous stuff:
Left: Original artwork for the 2010 compilation
Right: More "standard", less stylized version of their logo
